ARDENCY INN Modster Long Play Supercharged Lip Color Lipstick Review & Swatch: Lovecat

Ardency Inn is a new brand (at least to me).  I came across it on one of my all too familiar jaunts to Sephora.  New Makeup from a New Brand??  I needed one of those Victorian fainting couches.  Sadly, Sephora only has a cash register.

The long play lipstick stood out to me.   The red looked gorgeous. It retails for $25 for a full size, .12 oz tube.

Packaging:

The packaging really stood out to me.  The design is black and white and very sleek.  The lipstick case is sturdy feeling in your hand and has a magnetic closure.  I like the magnet feature, I think it’ll prevent a cap coming off in my makeup bag and ruining my bag and the lipstick.  Also, the metal tube is nice, because unlike a plastic tube, it won’t crack if you keep it in your purse.  I swear I’m not carrying around a wrench set or anything like that in my purse, but sometimes those plastic tubes just won’t hold up!

Color:

I purchased this lipstick in “Lovecat.”  On the Sephora website, it’s listed as “a deep red with teeth whitening blue undertones.”  Listing the undertones was a selling point for me.  I’m always trying to find a blue based red lipstick, but it usually feels like a guessing game. I like that Ardency Inn spells it out for us.  The say on each of their lip color shades if it has warm or blue undertones.

When I first took it out of the package, the shade looked almost too dark of a red.  But on the lips?  Oh my.  Stunning.  The red contrasted against skin is just so beautiful.  Absolutely a new favorite shade.

Longevity:

This lip color is billed as long wearing and non-transferring.  For me, it does last longer than any other lipstick I own.  I don’t even have to use a primer with it and do not have to touch it up with me when I go out for the night.  I feel asleep with it on one night and woke up with it all in place.  It does have some slight transfer when drinking.  A small amount did come off on my pillow the night I feel asleep with it on, but I expected it to be much, much worse.  I did have to reapply to the center of my lips after eating.  This stuff really does stay on longer than any other lipstick I’ve tried!

Taste/Smell/Texture:

The lipstick didn’t have any taste or smell to me.  The texture is so creamy, it feels like you are wearing a lip balm.  My lips weren’t dry at all when I woke up with it on.  It’s impressive that this lipstick can be so creamy & hydrating, but also not come off easily.

Overall:

I’m so, so impressed with this lipstick.  I will definitely be repurchasing when I need it and getting more shades.  It is on the pricier side for me, but to not have to reapply all night long is a huge selling point.  I love makeup that you can put on and not think about again, but have never found that before in a lipstick.  It’s long wearing and truly not drying.  Ardency Inn lipstick is a winner!
